Beth is running away. With her young son, Leo, to protect, Willow Cottage is the lifeline she so desperately needs. Overlooking the village green in a beautiful Cotswolds idyll, Beth sees a warm, caring and safe place for little Leo. When she finally uncovers the cottage from underneath the boughs of a weeping willow tree, Beth realises this is far more of a project than she bargained for, and the locals are more than a little eccentric!

Lovely book

Really enjoyed this book though it covered so not so nice subjects it was done charmingly. Great narration, hard to put down.

Christie Chapman is a single mum who spends her days commuting to her secretarial job in London and looking after her teenage son, Finn. It's not an easy life but Christie finds comfort in her love of crafting, and spends her spare time working on her beautiful creations. From intricately designed cards to personalised gifts, Christie's flair for the handmade knows no bounds and it's not long before opportunity comes knocking.

Long Story for a predictable end.

Brilliant Read

Loved this book even though it had its sad bits it was also uplifting, and being a crafter liked that part of the storyline as well.

The wonderful new novel from Alex Brown, best-selling author of
The Great Christmas Knit Off, perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley and Jill Mansell. April Wilson is wondering what to do next - her life has been turned upside down after the loss of her husband so she's hoping to piece herself together again with a visit to her elderly great aunt, Edith. Arriving in the rural idyll of Tindledale, she's dismayed to find Edith's cottage and the orchards surrounding it in a sorry state of disrepair.

A thought provoking book.

Tindeldale

Love the stories based round this one village, hopefully more to come and a such good different levels of storyline running through the book great!!

Romantic novel of the year 2010. When the abandoned strays from a local dogs' home are matched with brand new owners, it turns out it might not be just the dogs who need rescuing. Rachel's aunt has left her a house, a border collie and, despite Rachel knowing nothing about dogs, a crowded kennel. But since her life has collapsed, she's not sure she can deal with any more lost souls.

I didn't want it to finish

Loved it

Thought this was a lovely story, narrator was perfect, nice relaxing easy read. Hoping to read more from this author.

There was nothing to dislike about this book, it was a lovely listen, good story and excellent narration. I hope there will be another one, it had it all happiness, love, a bit of sadness but just showed how friends can be a support as well as family

Lou Clark knows a lot of things. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop, and she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live, and now everything feels small and joyless. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.

Fantastic, be inspired & provoked to think...
